The other night, after a super, deluxe session of sixty-nine, Danny asked if Id ever been with a woman, “Your tongue is so fast Sissy, it’s a hovercraft, it’s a humming bird…” Danny was a poet and I stopped him before he could say my tongue was a little hand of god.

“That’s because my tongue is so hungry for you, baby,” I said, “You are my blessed fountain of sweet cream. I was born to churn your butter.” I bent my head down to take him in my mouth again.

I didn’t tell him about Margo, or how she had a flaming arrow tattoo that pointed from her pierced navel  down her waxed vulva. I didn’t tell him how she used to rub licorice oil on her little pointy nips because licorice is my favorite candy. For years we hunted together, stalking all species of domestic and imported, classic and exotic cock. We also loved to pleasure each other; we felt it kept us balanced, kept us from getting too crazy over the vagaries of men. We never moved in on each other’s romances and if we met a man we both liked, we‘d flip a coin or once in a while decide to share. One St. Patrick’s day in Provincetown we sucked and fucked Tom Finn until he fainted.

That was many lifetimes ago, now Danny and I will have been married ten years in two weeks and Lulu, Marge’s love child by Stevie Ray Vaughn is applying to college. I wonder why I never told Danny about me and Margo. He has always liked her and I have told him about our midnight campaigns in crowded bars and dance halls, the shared men, but I never told him about Margo’s big, black strap-on that she named the Hornet or how often I slept with my hand on her belly, my head nesting between her small, white, breasts. Maybe I didn’t want him to imagine us together, even though I often enjoy imaginary flings with skate board boys, test pilots or petty thugs like Jean Paul Belmondo in Breathless.. Maybe I didn’t want Danny getting hard and thinking about the moist valley between Margo’s wide thighs. Can I be turning into a conventional, jealous wife?

Will I will start to get suspicious if he lingers in the shower?  After that it is just a short step until I begin to inspect his shirt collars for lipstick. Jealously is a twisted labyrinth that leads only to loss of self-respect. How disgusting, particularly since Danny loves me so and I am wild for him; his intelligence, his decency, his magician’s hands and his fine tool, his roto-rooter, his cock-a-doodle doo. I even love his poetry and how he recites Gregory Corso in bed. He tongues every centimeter of my coochie and my back hole too. He especially loves to plant his fat, hard cock deep inside my ass crack, to dive between the moons of Shakti, as the Yogis say. I delight in it as well and encourage him:

"Come on, John Glenn," I say, "how about some moon diving?"

If anything, our passion for each other has increased. He tells me he still loves my legs, although my thighs are now cross-hatched with purple veins. Even if he is balding and has acquired a pot-belly, he is as beguiling to me as the great Lord Shiva. I tell him even Buddha had a belly and it’s so erotic.

Only last month, Margo was telling me that after all this time, Danny is still a stud muffin. I knew it was her way of complimenting me on my good luck, her way of telling me she was happy for me. I know she would never disturb my happiness and yet, I had never told Danny about our sex play. Sometimes when Danny and I are fucking I truly understand how sex is a divine pathway to cosmic consciousness, now here I am worrying myself about Danny imagining Margo, here I am wandering lost in the dark, serpentine tracks of my reptile brain.

I should be ashamed. I thought all those acid trips had elevated my consciousness; I must transcend this petty jealously. I should sleep with Danny AND Margo, that would certainly put my elevated consciousness to the test. Maybe Margo would like to join me in giving Danny a special party for our anniversary. I remember my Cousin Bruce telling me how for his birthday one year, his wife Adelaide gave him her friend Poppy. Adelaide told Bruce his birthday present was in the bedroom and when she led him in, there was Poppy naked in their bed with a big red bow tied around her waist. Adelaide excused herself and went to play Bingo. I am more selfish then she, I want some fun too.

I still dream of Margo, her slim, delicate, upper body, those small, soft breasts, that I can cup so easily in my hands, and then her surprisingly wide hips and big solid ass, her sturdy, thick peasant legs. It is as if it took two women to make her, top by Modigliani, bottom by Roualt. When Margo walks down the street, men turn and stare, then they follow her. I’m barely five feet tall, thin, wiry, intense and dark haired. Lionheart once said she was the Cadillac and I the Porsche. I wonder if she still thinks about my body too?

I decide to call her at her job and see if she would be willing to help me make a very special anniversary party for my Danny. We often kid around about how our wild times have prepared us for our lives in the here and now, she became an efficiency expert while I am  a Yoga teacher.

“Sissy, “ she said when she heard my voice on the phone, “you rascal, I’ve been meaning to call, it’s been too long, everything is topsy-turvy, my boss Otto decided he wanted a sex change so he’s in Sweden and I’m running the whole shebang, I’m so busy I can’t breathe, let’s meet for drinks, I need a bucket full. How are your classes at Leaping Lotus and how is Danny, your big, fat poet man?”

Her words always all pour out in a rush in a breathy little girl voice that is so incongruous coming out of her large body.

“It’s Lilting Lotus, Lilting Lotus,” I tell her and then I tell her about the Tantra for Tension Taming class I’m teaching and that Danny’s book Breathing without Air is  coming out next fall and, I add, he isn’t fat but substantial.

“Whatever you say, Sissy, Margo answered laughing. When I ask about Lulu, she says, “Lulu keeps surprising me," last year she wanted to be a trapeze artist, now she wants to be a  geneticist.”

“Lulu is like you,” I tell her, “smart enough to do anything.”  Then I tell her what I have in mind.

There is a long silence on the other end of the phone, then Margo says, “You  know Sissy, our lives are so different now, I’m a mother, you’re a wife, we have careers, gynecologists, bank accounts, but I still think...” she paused, “of your  bush.”

I imagined her blushing in that way of hers, her whole face becoming bright, vivid pink. 

“And there’s still a flame burning for you deep inside me,” she continued, “but why fan it,


I wanted to see
if I could conquer
my base jealousies


it could flare up, singe our lives, besides it might be no good between us after so long, maybe we should just remember what we had, a bird in the hand and all that.....”

“But Margo,” I said, “ We’re not birds, we love each other and we can handle it.”

I didn’t tell her that I wanted to test myself, see if I could conquer my base jealousies. Instead I said, “ we’ve never hurt each other, remember how we would flip a coin if we were both wet for the same guy? We were always a fantastic team, and particularly when we conspired for pleasure. I’ll never forget how we seduced the Sager Twins and then switched partners..”

“They were identical,” Margo said, “except Laurie had that King Kong dick.”

“But Mike’s balls were bigger and covered with hair,” I added.

“Yeah, I remember,” said Margo, “I got some stuck in my teeth, it’s true,” Margo went on, “we had such great times, we always enjoyed sharing … O.K., let’s do it,  I can’t resist, I’ll enter into one more conspiracy with you for auld lang sine besides I always wanted to see what Danny’s cock looks like.”

Oh, oh I thought, and suddenly my mouth was dry and I couldn’t speak. A little green snake was twisting around my throat, strangling me, but I took a few deep, Bhastrika breaths to elevate my mind. The little snake was gone and at least I was able to make myself laugh. “Ha, ha” I laughed feebly, “This will be your chance, ha, ha, ha.”

We were on the phone all the time over the next two weeks, planning our surprise.  Margo let me take the lead. She told me she was looking forward to it. She’d been so busy on her job she hadn’t had sex for three months, she wanted to tongue me again and it was going to be a lot of fun. My anxieties were dissipating. In the middle of senior yoga class, while I was demonstrating Praying Mantis lotus to seven senior ladies, I found myself imagining me and Danny and Margo and I farted loudly and fell over on my head.

I would tell Danny I was cooking a special anniversary dinner and he should be home from his copywriting job at seven. Margo and I decided it would be just too, too crude if he walked into the apartment and found us embracing in the bedroom. This was a play that deserved a prologue. I would greet him at the door in my purple leather corset, the one that started under my breasts and went down to my hips, panties would not be part of the picture, just a purple garter belt, black fishnets, and my knee-high, black, patent leather stiletto boots. I decided to go for the mondo tacky effect, so I got strawberry incense and pink candles.  I bought red satin sheets and a red strobe light for the ceiling fixture.

On the big day Margo came over an hour before Danny was due. I was already in my outfit when I answered the door.

“You look a four grand a night hooker,” she said.

"Thanks for the compliment,” I told her, then I took her into the bedroom. I lit the candles and incense and switched on the strobe light.

“Fabulous,” she commented, “it looks just like a whorehouse.” She took off her trench coat. All she had on was a pair of black, suede pumps and thigh-high, black sheer stockings. Her long strawberry blonde hair was cascading down her back instead of the French braid she usually wore and she had golden glitter on her face and all over her body. She put her coat and dress away in the closet and then she took a slow stroll over to the bed, shaking those big mama hips at me. I couldn’t help but notice that her legs were still perfect, firm and white as snow, not even one tiny spider vein in sight. I took a deep breath and pushed that thought from my mind.

“You are one hot ticket, “ I told Margo. “You look like Wonder Woman.”  I made myself go to her. I put my hands over her delicate breasts and gently kneaded them. .

“Ahh,” sighed Margo, “This is going to be a great thing,”

“I’m going into the living room,” I told her, “Before I get carried away.” I sat on the living room couch admiring the fine curve of my thighs in my fishnets.

When I heard Danny’s  familiar footsteps in the hall and the sound of his key in the lock, I ran to the door and flung it open. He was standing there holding a big bunch of red roses.

“Happy ….” he started to say and then “wow, wow,” and then, holding the bouquet out towards me, “Roses are red, the sky is blue, look at you,”  as he eyed me up and down.

“Get in here, you poet head, “ I said. I grabbed him by the arm, pulled him inside, and pushed shut the door. I took the roses from him and holding them between us, leaned over to give him a kiss. He had a big, fleshy Mick Jaggger mouth. I call him Lover Lips or sometimes Mr. Mouth, then I led him to his chair.

“Just sit,” I said, “I’ll be right back.”

I dashed into the kitchen and put the roses in a jar of water and carried it back into the living room and put in on the television set.

I turned to face him, bowed low so he could see my tits shimmy, and then, with a dramatic flourish, pulled out the joint that was tucked into the top of my corset. I lit it for


I found his fly,
unzipped it,
pulled out his pride


him with the candle that was burning on the coffee table and watched him toke some down.  He put the J down in  the ashtray on the table, then he opened his large arms out to me. I tumbled happily into his lap.

“You’re the queen of all my dreams, my sweet pea, my ecstasy,” he said.

It was so romantic being married to a poet. Then he swallowed my mouth up in those lover lips. I found his fly, unzipped it, pulled out his pride. My Danny's cock wasn’t all that long, but it was wide, a fine, round log, substantial and decent, dependable like its owner. No premature ejaculation for my Danny, he could go for hours. I lifted my pelvis up and took him in all the way, I sheathed him, I stroked him, massaged him, I washed him and wooed him with my juices.

“Oh Sissy, dear wife, star of my life ” he gasped, breathing hard and I felt him throb within me. I did not want him to come so I lifted off, put my arms about his waist, hugging his stout belly. I put my lips over his and slowly fucked his mouth with my tongue. I really took my time and when I felt him pushing into me, his prick hard as steel, I stopped. Then I knelt, took his socks and boots off those big, caveman feet and stripped him down.

“I have a special surprise for you,” I said and led him by his cock head into our bedroom. Margo’s opulent form glowed larger than life in the candlelight, she looked like a Goddess from some primeval time, Hera come down from Mount Olympus. I was startled, overwhelmed by her beauty. In spite of myself I felt my heart sink, then I got that queasy feeling in my belly that means I’m frightened. Margo was so lush, so female, so much more woman then I, how would Danny react, what would he do?

For once he was speechless, without a quick and clever rhyme. His mouth gaped open, he was staring at Margo, then “ I don’t believe this,” said Danny, “ I must be sleeping and this must be a dream.” My stomach got even more queasy, I could barely breathe but I managed to say, my voice suddenly very reedy and thin.

“It’s no dream, lover lips, we planned an anniversary show just for you."

“It that what this is, “ said Danny, grinning , “I thought I died and came back as Henry Miller.”

“Happy Anniversary ,”  said Margo.

“Well, thanks,” said Danny, eyeing her appreciatively, “You must be the cake, I like that decorative arrow.”

I felt so sick I wanted to melt into the floor, I must have been crazy, insane, to do this to myself, but then Danny turned to me. He put his big arms out and grabbed me.

“Margo’s the cake and you are my feast of delight," he said. "I’m luckier then Henry Miller with all his fancy women and his three wives. I have the best wife in the world, and she’s so sexy, Sissy, every year you get more gorgeous."

He kissed my shoulders, my neck, worked his way down to my breast above the corset. Suddenly the strawberry scent in the room mingled with the odor of musk and roses. From some distant temple I heard the deep, passionate chords of the sitar and ooud.  I nestled, joyful, into his neck, traced the line of his collarbone with my tongue, I kissed the little hollow at the base of his throat and then pulled out of his embrace.

“Let the show begin,” I said. Margo sat up, her face smiling and radiant. She threw her head back and shook her flood of hair sensuously side to side, then she lifted one of her sweet, little  breasts and offered it to me. I did a little, undulating dance as I moved over to the bed.  I found Margo’s roseate nipple as I had so many times before. She had not forgotten the licorice oil, and I put her teat in my mouth and sucked and sucked, while she spread her legs wide before Danny’s eager eyes. She fingered herself as I nursed. I liked to flick the tip of her nipple with my tongue as I nursed and she must have liked it too because she started to moan and open and close her legs spasmodically as she fucked herself with her fingers.

Finally I pushed her hand aside with my own, found her fat clit and pulled on it first gently and then harder, harder   Her back curled with pleasure as she lifted up to meet my touch. Even though I was still sucking at her tit, I was able to turn my head just enough to see Danny. He was cradling his cock in the palm of his hand and the expression on his face was so beatific, he looked like he had just deciphered the Rosetta stone, channeled the lost poems of Atlanitis or won the Pulitzer prize.  

Margo was writhing beneath me now, quivering, rolling her body from side to side. I didn’t want her to roll away, so I took my mouth off her breast and put my head between those big legs. Her juices were thick, sweeter than honey, sweeter than ambrosia and mead. I moved my tongue north and there was her clit, eager, standing up, yearning for me. I made my mouth small and tight and sucked that clit like it was the nipple of Mother Kali as Margo bucked hard beneath me. She let out a big OOOOh and came, filling my mouth with the syrup of life. The nectar of joy flowed from Margo’s clit into me making me golden and open. I put my hands on her strong hips and lifted my head up for breath.

“What a pleasure party,”  Margo moaned, “I love you both.”

“You two are so beautiful, so beautiful, don’t stop yet,” Danny cried out. I turned to look at him. He was moving his hand so quickly up and down his cock, all I could see was a blur.

“Don’t stop, don’t stop, please, oh baby, oh Sissy, oh Sissy, oh baby, I’m almost there…” he moaned. I had to smile, he was so adorable in his urgency, then I got up on my hands and knees and waved my tight, little ass at him, I lifted my rump higher and higher. Margo, sensing what I had in mind, leaned over and with her hands spread my ass cheeks wider than the skies of paradise. I wanted to invite him, to say, “Dear Danny, come, dive between the moons of Shakti,” but he had moved across the floor towards the bed so quickly that, before I could even speak, he was there.  ##
